How’s your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?
I’m currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that’s when I found a potential replacement but I’ll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.
I’m thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there’s a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won’t have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I’m hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I’d choose as well.

Tried to setup a personal matrix server last night, got it to federate, next step is Matrix’s Element Call, spent too many hours trying to block the
/_synapseendpoint with Traefik because it is recommended by Matrix, no luck unfortunately.All this in hopes I can add a Music Bot to my instance or something similar.
Late to the party But I’ve been thinking about upgrading my proxmox and finally taking care of my backups in a more responsible manner. Just thinking about it, not actually doing anything yet :)
Chose yesterday late evening as the time to migrate my containers from docker to podman (still rootful). By luck most things work again, except wireguard/qbittorrent
What made you want to switch from docker to podman?
I recently installed Beszel and really like it but I would prefer not to have to login every time I want to check my systems. Is there any easy alternative?
Certainly not my homelab as my server isn’t booting since a few weeks ago and I didn’t fix it yet…
Oh no!
Bought my first raspberry pi 5, 8 gb ram version. Gonna be using it to run a jellyfin server and maybe a foundry server if it can handle both concurrently. Anyone familiar enough to know if running multiple things on one of these is wise?
Running multiple things in one host is perfectly fine. The more you have, the more complicated dependencies will become. Tool A needing PHP < 8 and tool B needing PHP 9 can be handled but is a headache.
That’s why many people are using containers, specifically Docker. Each tool brings their own dependencies that are running isolated. Not sharing dependencies is more resource intensive but easier to handle.
I’m not running the tools you mentioned but probably they list their resources requirements. I suggest you to check containers/Docker and consider using them instead of installing the tools natively.
Ah, docker is a name I’d heard hanging around the lemmy space. I looked into it a little and couldn’t figure out what its usecase was, but that makes a fair bit of sense, thanks
Currently working on moving the more family-relevant services to OIDC-based login via Pocket ID passkeys so I can put my parents on them.
Also, still on the lookout for a good Nextcloud replacement. Even Opencloud displays the first signs of feature creep.
What’s wrong with Nextcloud?
It grew from a nice Owncloud fork into a do-it-all groupware solution by adding on more and more things without really improving the basis. Each version the performance gets a little worse, syncing gets stuck more often, etc.
Opencloud looks or at least looked good as it started out as an Owncloud Infinite Scale fork, but if course they’re adding on more and more groupware stuff without improving the core first. Maybe we’re doomed to witness the same cycle with each solution, who knows.
Also, Nextcloud/Owncloud are written in PHP, that might also have a significant impact on its poor reliability ^^
When I ran Nextcloud, it broke every other update. Mostly because NC didn’t seem to care that anyone had a 7-year-old install being migrated along.
Aside from being hella slow, I just don’t like that it can’t use the same directories as my network shares and requires uploading. This script might help but honestly I just stick to the basic shares because of this
Purchased 5 1tb drives to expand my study server. Going from 600GB to 4TB is going to make more complex labs possible.
Bad week for me. Tandoor had become the home of quite a lot of recipes, and well, I’m never gonna just pull a docker container again without a backup, cause I did a pull and the bastard stopped working.
So I setup Django and got started doing my own recipe server cause I was never very enthused about Tandoor, too much netflix-like Presentation bullshit and did not allow for the very simple thing I wanted, which was, a compact list of my recipes by alphabet that I can swiftly click on the one I want.
I also need to get my Python chops back cause I think there will be jobs again, soon enough.
Meanwhile, anyone got any suggestions of a better recipe app? Needs to run as a Linux server, that’s about it. I can go Tailscale if it has no security. If I get mine to something usable I’ll make it available.
Mealie is far superior to Tandoor,imho.
Just got some power measuring plugs. Home Assistant and immich-running raspberry pi + NAS (dual 20TB in raid 1) + switch clock in at around 30W. Surround receiver playing music ups that by 90W. After a minor water leak I added 5 leak sensors to the system that will blink lights and send texts if they detect anything.
The biggest problem is that I’m still running lights through hue and some of them have an annoying tendency to drop off the network…
Get yourself a Sonoff ZigBee bridge! Hue light support is practically native, and they act as extenders to reach your other ZigBee devices! Just don’t expect to be able to sync them with any movies or peripherals. I think there is a virtual Hue bridge on HACS and that might help with that, but idk
I have that. I just got hue first, so all my lamps (or at least the old ones) are registered in hue. I haven’t taken the time to move all of it over, so now I have two competing networks.
I updated my Dietpi setup today, because a new version was available. It went very well, and everything works perfectly after a reboot.
and everything works perfectly after a reboot
I always hold my breath whenever I’ve done anything major to the server and I need to reboot.
I’ve finally setup Netbird instead of Tailscale to VPN to my network. Took some time since I wanted it to work with pocket-id and had some issues configuring everything properly. Runs like a charm now.
Switch my ActualBudget authentication to my locally hosted Authelia instance and it was a breeze, with no issues. Always a fantastic feeling.
I recently switched my phone from Android to GrapheneOS and now rely even more on my selfhosted services. Immich is such a great project. Still gotta figure out my music collection though, since switching from YT Music to Jellyfin. Most of it is sorted by date of purchase, because that worked best with my DJ workflow. Now I gotta bring it over to a folder structure that works for jellyfin. It seems like the answer is musicbrainz Picard, but I gotta figure out how to configure it.
Also been thinking about some AI ideas I’d like to try, but I have zero intention getting involved with openai, meta, google or whoever the fuck. So self hosting it is. But on what hardware? Option 1 seems to be to get some professional server board, CPU, ram and start with one RTX3090 and go from there with the option to hook up more GPUs. But a setup like that sounds like it would cost some serious money in electricity. Option 2 seems to be a Rzyen AI Max+ 395, configured with a fuckton of ram, available to the whole apu and as suchs usable for memory hungry models. This seems to be much much more power efficient. But its all integrated and I couldn’t swap out components or upgrade in the future. Leaning towara option 2 atm, but maybe I’ll just wait a bit longer and see what else comes up in the coming months.
Nice… I use ytdl-sub for downloading music, highly recommend it. You can write tag metadata but if you want embedded stuff I’d recommend trying beets. Running both as a user whose primary group matches Jellyfin is a must if you want stuff saved next to the video files… The dev is also very active.
I just installed Ollama and use gemma3 for now. I wanted to use dolphin-mixtral but holy crap it wants more RAM than my entire setup

This is basically what I’ve found with self hosted AI. I just don’t have the equipment for it. Would love to be able to host a selfcontained LLM, but alas, as you say, it eats up resources. FEED ME MAURICE!
I ended up using navidrome for my music to take advantage of the subsonic API, which has been phenomenal 🙂
Man, I just set up navidrome and it instantly seems so much better and easier to maintain. Thank you so much for your input :)
I’ve just finished ripping about 1300 CDs. I used Jellyfin for a bit since I already had it set up for my video library, but I wasn’t happy with the Android options and it was pretty basic.
Navidrome is a fucking TREAT. Paired with Symfonium, I’m finally enjoying my personal music collection regularly again.
As for tagging, OP, while I get why people like Picard, it doesn’t always work with how I like to do things. I put everything into a music folder on my desktop, use Mp3Tag to retrieve metadata, edit what I need, and make sure the artwork is decent and sized where I want it. Then I use the tag > filename to organize and move them to my NAS.
Navidrome
I’ve found Navidrome to be quite capable of handling large music collections. I was worried in the beginning. It sips resources. When I fire it up and listen remotely, I watch the CPU and RAM. It barely moves the needle. Very happy with it.
I finally moved my mail server from Hetzner to my homelab.
Pretty smooth sailing so far. For now I’m using Scaleway for outgoing mails since I can’t set a PTR record here but I might just try sending a few without PTR to see how other providers react.
Yes, but that doesn’t help you with the large providers (Gmail, Outlook, …) unfortunately.
From my experience using a mailserver with no PTR and an ISP who likes to put their addresses on a PBL, it’s very good. Gmail tends to be the most annoying and wants that PBL listing removed or you’ll go to spam for new recipients, but other than that 10/10. I’d be interested to hear what your findings are if you do test it!
